Vinyl Surfaces: EX+

Audio Test - EX Small to moderate very light, small hairlines only. The kind from careful handling and cleaning. 

Listened to in full on Audio Technica deck through Studio monitors: 

Side 1:   Plays EX+ with only a bit of occasional light background noise.                             

Side 2: Some crackles on the quiet intro to 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers' which stops once the song kicks in. Plays EX+ from there on in, with only a bit of occasional light background noise.         

Visual Inspection/Bright Light: EX

For all sides the marks are the kind you see on most Vintage Vinyl that has been played. No deep scratches. Some ingrained handling marks not removed by cleaning (do not affect play)

Visual Inspection - Bright Daylight: NM

Vinyl Labels EX+

• Both labels excellent 

• No mould, scratches or marks. 

• Colours and printed text all perfect 

• Tiny amount of wear on spindle holes 

Outer Sleeve NM-

• Outstanding condition all round. 
• Spine near perfect with virtually zero wear
• No splits
• Virtually no corner wear 
• No major marks or creasing
• One edge on back cover top has a small area of wear re-enforced with clear tape to prevent worsening (please see pics, if you'd like more just ask) This is the reason for NM- and not NM grading. 

Inner Gatefold  NM

• Outstanding condition 
• No significant marks or creasing
• No fading, no splits 

Original Inner Sleeve  NM

•  Again, in outstanding condition all round 
• No splits, no significant marks, no fading and no creasing 
• Brand new high-quality anti-static sleeve also provided. 

Vinyl Care/Preparation

• I hand-clean every vinyl listed using L'Art Du Son cleaning solution using a goat-hair vinyl brush and suitable cloths and vacuuming off the liquid.   This removes old grease, dust etc. to improve the playback quality. This does sometimes leave residue marks, but these don't affect play. 

• Once cleaned, I 'buff' the Vinyl using a very soft cleaning-cloth, then place it into an anti-static black sleeve. This sleeve is supplied with the Vinyl you buy. 

•  I also carefully clean and dry the Vinyl outer sleeves to remove old finger marks, dirt and dust. Once done the sleeves are placed into a PVC sleeve to keep them nice and clean, they are shipped with the plastic sleeve. 

•  Vinyls are then listened to end-to-end before grading, in order to make sure they don't skip etc. BEWARE VISUAL-ONLY GRADINGS...some Vinyls that look Near Mint to the eye have skips, others that look marked play near-perfectly. I've learned that you can't grade a Vinyl without listening to it :) 

•  Finally, I take lots of pics and rip the Vinyl to digital - free download provided for digital collection if you'd like this.  

•  All of the above is done to help buyers be sure of what they are getting before they spend hard-earned money! For this reason, I am not the cheapest on eBay and don't want to be. All offers are considered but please don't expect me to give stuff away :) 

Shipping 

• Usually within 2 Days, sometimes a bit longer if I'm very busy (Part time sole trader) Please ignore the stated 10 days, this is to avoid eBay late shipment penalties which lower my performance level and impact the prices and service I can provide to buyers. 

• Well packaged in appropriate protective packaging

• Vinyl removed from inner and securely packed during shipping to prevent splits 

• Combined shipping always - please ask 

• l don't make money on shipping but eBay and PayPal do charge full fees on shipping costs so I have to factor this in ????

About me

• Reliable, friendly personal seller, not a big company

• Best Offers are the kind of discount you might be able to negotiate in a record store...please don't offer half the asking price, it'll be declined ;) 

• Honest gradings: every item photographed and graded individually with warts and all pics: I want you to be happy with your purchase and giving you honest information is the way to do it. 

• Honest Shipping Costs, I don't make money on shipping. 

• Looking for other Rock titles - please ask. I can search to order and can offer sensible deals on multiples and save money for shipping.
